If my memory is correct, that opening line for Oregon-Michigan is from last summer, long before the season started.

I love the stadium architecturally and am envious of the huge tailgating fields. But you are spot on, the crowd was pretty quiet. Student section never filled up or got into the game. It was Dad's weekend there and, given that they haven't really been a football school historically, it never...

Not sure how that would work in practice, but not a horrible idea. Who do you envision them playing? You aren't going to get a major conference school the likes of which would normally demand a home-and-home arrangement (i.e. schools on our future schedules like Mississippi State, California...

Height checks out.

Ted Roof (DC under Brewster for a year) has been fired as DC at UCF. Here's his resume: 1987–1988 Alabama (GA) 1989 West Georgia (LB) 1990–1993 Duke (LB) 1994 UMass (OLB/DL/RC) 1995–1996 UMass (DC) 1997 Western Carolina (DC) 1998 Georgia Tech (LB) 1999–2001 Georgia Tech (DC)...

I'm in, looking forward to the trip. Can't help with any pregame spots for an 11:00am kick. I'd suggest wandering through Grange Grove. I have had good luck finding friendly folks who will offer you a beer or some food. Friday night or postgame, I'd recommend Ko Fusion or Hamilton Walker's...

I think his AD did have him prepared. He told him "if a question comes up about this stuff, don't say anything, just let me handle it." And that's what Franklin did. He just forgot to add "and don't be a dick about it." I guess you can blame the AD for that, but he shouldn't really have to...

Not really sure what you are arguing against. I am not opposed to the crossover games and agree that they would be popular. The issue is with your draft idea. Yes it would generate viewers, but so would an announcement show without the powerball aspect. And even if the powerball concept...

Can't help you with Georgia, but Minnesota has Alabama on the schedule for 2032 (home) and 2033 (away). We'll see if those games actually get played.

I just looked today. Last year they announced the dates at the beginning of November.

No, it is absolutely not bound to happen either way. Duke doesn't play Illinois or Michigan State every year, but they do almost always play: a blueblood, a ranked team or a ranked blueblood. In 24 years, they have played IU, MSU and OSU five times each and Illinois and Wisconsin three times...

I can see them going for the idea of a show announcing the games, but I don't think that they would leave the actual matchups to chance. The whole point is to generate games that will attract the most eyeballs, they don't want to risk a whole slate of Purdue vs. Alabama and Ohio State vs...

My memory on this is fuzzy, but I believe that an NFL coach did this a few years ago. Sent out 13 or 14 defenders to stop the play and burn the time. Response was a rule change where now it's a pre-snap penalty if the defense has more than 11 in the formation with the play stopped before it...

Pfft, that's nothing. I told everyone sitting by me he was going to intercept that pass before the play even started. ;)

The New York Giants have used "ny" on their helmets over the years. But, sure, it's certainly unusual.

Not really, it's been the same for as long as I can remember.

Yep, he stepped up nicely. I had to look him up on the roster since I couldn't recall who wore #24 on defense and his hair obscured the nameplate on his jersey.

We are staying in Old Town. Hotel recommended the shuttle vs. walking to the Rose Bowl. Is it a difficult or unpleasant walk? Also, does the shuttle keep running as long as there are people waiting postgame?

Yeah, they are smug group. In fairness to them, there is no way a traditional blueblood like USC with all the resource advantages they have should ever lose to some nondescript program from flyover country. Or something like that.

With Fleetwood Mac? That would be quite a feat. They did play Tusk, or at least an abridged version of Tusk, during the game from their perch.
